FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Johnny Weissmuller as The King of the Jungle
THE TARZAN COLLECTION VOLUME 2
Tarzan Triumphs ~ Tarzan's Desert Mystery
Tarzan and the Amazons ~ Tarzan and the Leopard Woman
Tarzan and the Huntress ~ Tarzan and the Mermaids
All New to DVD and Available Exclusively as a Collection October 31
Burbank, Calif. July 31, 2006 - Johnny Weissmuller swings back into action with
Warner Home Video's The Tarzan Collection Volume 2 debuting on October 31. Following
the huge success of WHV's first Weissmuller Tarzan set in 2004, this new DVD
collection includes the home video debut of Weissmuller's last six Tarzan films,
presented on three double-feature discs. Originally made at RKO, these films feature
actress Brenda Joyce, assuming the role of Tarzan's beloved Jane. Although other
actors would later play the role, these films exemplify why Weissmuller, the
five-time Olympic champion, was the definitive Tarzan, and the one to pave the way
for future interpretations of Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle hero. During his acting
career, Weissmuller starred in 12 Tarzan features for both MGM and RKO. This
collection features Tarzan Triumphs/Tarzan's Desert Mystery, Tarzan and the
Amazons/Tarzan and the Leopard Woman and Tarzan and the Huntress/Tarzan and the
Mermaids. These six films which were never available on videocassette, are all new
to DVD, and will sell as a collection only, for $39.92 SRP.
Tarzan Triumphs (1943)/Tarzan's Desert Mystery (1943)
World War II? That's the way of civilized people, not Tarzan. He refuses to be
involved until the Nazis make the mistake of striking at the Ape-Man's family.
Johnny Weissmuller returns as the jungle hero and Johnny Sheffield again plays Boy
in Tarzan Triumphs.
Tarzan's help with the war effort continues in Tarzan's Desert Mystery, as Tarzan
crosses the Sahara to find medicinal plants needed by the Allies.
Tarzan and the Amazons (1945)/Tarzan and the Leopard Woman (1946)
Jane, absent from the series' two prior films, returns in these adventures starring
Johnny Weissmuller and Johnny Sheffield with Brenda Joyce as Jane. When the jungle
lord refuses to lead anthropologists to a mysterious female tribe, Boy does, setting
in motion the plot twists and turns of Tarzan and the Amazons.
Are brutal maulings the results of leopard attacks? The Ape-Man doesn't think so,
and his instincts prove right as he faces murderous leopard men and their exotic
priestess in Tarzan and the Leopard Woman. But its Cheetah to the rescue after the
sect captures Tarzan, Boy and Jane and readies them for sacrifice.
Tarzan and the Huntress (1947)/Tarzan and the Mermaids (1948)
Expeditioners aim to harvest animals for profit, capturing them for zoos without
regard for the balance of jungle life. There's one person the hunters didn't count
on: Tarzan. He'll protect the habitat - and call in an army of elephants to assist
when the going gets tough in Tarzan and the Huntress. The film features the last of
Johnny Sheffield's eight appearances as Boy.
In Tarzan and the Mermaids, Weissmuller bids his twelfth and final farewell to the
role of the Ape-Man, but not before rescuing a lovely maiden from a forced marriage,
tangling with a giant octopus and restoring harmony to a community of pure-hearted
pearl divers.
